Question

Let x = 0.147 and let y = 0.147.

Answer 1

X is a rational number, y is not a rational number, and y is larger.

Explanation:

The line above the 0.147 means that the number goes on forever and never stops. This is a characteristic of an irrational number. Rational numbers, however, do stop, so x is rational. Because y goes on forever, it has more values after the 0.147, making it larger.
